668: Chokehold
Because of the direction of the wind, the fire burned from the west side of the city.
Lanzhou City is dry, the fire is raging, and it is very dangerous, lighting up half of the sky in Lanzhou City.
"It's out of the water!"
"Fight the fire, put out the fire!"
"Child, the child is still in the house."
Half of Lanzhou was in chaos.
The fire was fighting outside, Xiao Yunting was feverish, and his whole body was hot.
"Shiziβ"
Cicada Yi worried.
Xiao Yunting's face was flushed, and his jade-like face was dyed crimson, with a thrilling beauty.
He struggled to lift his eyelids, "What's going on outside?" β
"Shizi, there is a fire in the west of the city."
Xiao Yunting coughed: "...... It's Agoura. β
If you don't kill Agoura today, you will be avenged by the other party.
At this time, Xiao Yunting should be in command to deal with the crisis, but he was in a daze, and any decision he made was afraid that it would be wrong.
Xiao Yunting immediately ordered Cicada Yi:
"Go and call Cheng Qing!"
As soon as Cheng Qing heard that there was a fire in the west of the city, she knew that Agula had begun to retaliate, and the time to rescue Old Man Li had come, she was analyzing with Xiaopan and Wu Er whether Gu Hongtai would help, Cicada Yi said that the prince was invited, and Cheng Qing immediately wanted to scold his mother.
Xiao Yunting's dog thing, did he think that the assassin sent by Agoura was too powerful, and he wanted to ask her to come over and share the risk?
Cheng Qing scolded her mother in her heart, but she was very cooperative in her actions, giving Xiaopan and Wu Er a soothing look and asking them to be alert: "If the fire burns here, don't be stupid, just run." β
Run when you should run, and save people when you should save people while they are in chaos.
If you can save it, you can save it, and if you can't save it, don't force yourself into it.
Xiao Pan and Wu Er have been with Cheng Qing for the longest time, and they can understand Cheng Qing's true meaning.
Cicada Yi took Cheng Qing to Xiao Yunting's residence, Xiao Yunting had already gotten up from the bed and sat on the chair, his clothes were neatly dressed, his hair was neatly combed, and he couldn't see anything abnormal except that his face was red.
In fact, Xiao Yunting's whole person was about to burn.
There were only Xiao Yunting and Cheng Qing in the room, as well as the three of Cicada Yi.
Xiao Yunting asked Cheng Qing to sit down:
"Cicada Yi, from now on, you listen to Cheng Qing's command, and you will do whatever Cheng Qing asks you to do, until this prince cancels this order, Lanzhou City will be handed over to Cheng Qing!"
Cheng Qing's mouth opened slightly.
Xiao Yunting's dog thing...... Is it really reassuring [fo] her?
If she really wants to leave it to her, she will immediately order Old Man Li to be released.
Forget it, this may be the dog Shizi is testing her.
Xiao Yunting thought that Cheng Qing wanted to shirk it, and sneered at the moment: "Agoura will send someone to assassinate me tonight, this son can die, but if I die, Lanzhou City is over, Agoura's army breaks through the northwest defense line and marches into the Central Plains, you can't escape, your family can't escape, Cheng Qing, think it out yourself!" β
Xiao Yunting is a dog, but he is confident.
This is a man who can stop the army of Northern Qi.
Xiao Yunting's death may not be beneficial to Cheng Qing, but it will definitely be a huge loss to the entire Lanzhou City, and even the northwest defense line.
Cheng Qing gritted his teeth: "Cicada clothes, let people demolish the houses around the mansion, the sooner the better, so as not to leave something to cover for the Northern Qi assassins, and not to let the fire spread here." Second, send people to protect King Ye and the princess from being taken hostage by the assassins, and third, if there is a fire in the west of the city, in addition to fighting the fire, strengthen patrols in other directions, and be vigilant against the voices of the Northern Qi people! β
Cheng Qing gave three orders in a row, and Cicada Yi nodded lightly when she saw Xiao Yunting, and she no longer questioned the execution of the order.
I have to say that the girl Cicada Yi is really likable, if Xiao Yunting had taken it with her at the beginning, and the maid who came into contact with Cheng Qing was Cicada Yi instead of Xiao Ji, Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting would not have been so stiff.
It's too late to say anything.
There are human lives and other things between the two, Cheng Qing doesn't trust Xiao Yunting, and Xiao Yunting doesn't trust her.
Xiao Yunting questioned Cheng Qing's character, but trusted her ability, and at this time, he actually handed over the command to Cheng Qing...... Cheng Qing wanted to ask why, but found that Xiao Yunting could no longer support his body on the chair, stretched out one hand to grab the armrest of the chair, and took out a Jinpa, held his mouth and nose and coughed.
It was a cough that was struggling to endure and suppressed.
There were red blood stains spilling from Xiao Yunting's fingers.
Xiao Yunting's illness, is it so serious?
Xiao Yunting wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, stuffed the brocade into his sleeve, and after doing all this, the whole person seemed to be lying on the chair as if he was prostration, and his eyes were closed.
Cheng Qing hesitated for a while, and seeing that no one outside came in to serve, he still got up and poured a glass of water for Xiao Yunting.
She walked to Xiao Yunting's side with a water cup, and didn't respond to calling Xiao Yunting's name, she couldn't help but reach out to probe Xiao Yunting's pulse, Xiao Yunting suddenly reached out and grabbed Cheng Qing's neck.
"Y-You're crazyβ"
Xiao Yunting's hands are very thin, but his hand strength is very strong, and he pulled Cheng Qing closer to him:
ββ¦β¦ Are you trying to kill me? β
As soon as he spoke, the corners of his mouth overflowed bloodshot again, "Cheng Qing, who are you, why do Mr. Zhang's gang of thieves care about you, you are not Cheng Zhiyuan's son, who are you?" β
- The old lady is not Cheng Zhiyuan's son, the old lady is Cheng Zhiyuan's daughter!
Cheng Qing's face was purple, and his hand touched the switch of the sleeve crossbow, wanting to give Xiao Yunting an arrow.
Xiao Yunting immediately realized what she wanted to do.
He pinched Cheng Qing's neck with one hand, and clamped the crossbow arrow switch hidden under Cheng Qing's sleeve with the other.
"There are many assassins who have assassinated the son of this world, and you are the most clumsy one."
Did she want to assassinate Xiao Yunting?
It's clear that you want to protect yourself!
Cheng Qing finally found out that Xiao Yunting's hands were very hot, and this dog thing was burning.
She became more and more deprived of oxygen, her breathing was not smooth, and she kicked Xiao Yunting's lower body, Xiao Yunting's palm suddenly exerted force, and Cheng Qing's kick was soft and powerless.
Cheng Qing had long been ready to face death calmly.
She thought about being executed by the Dog Emperor.
I thought about dying of poison.
thought that the northwest defense line could not be defended, and died under the iron hooves of the Northern Qi army.
I didn't think I would be strangled to death by Xiao Yunting's dog-
Suffocation can make people hallucinate, Cheng Qing saw Xiao Yunting's mouth open and close, as if she was saying something, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
Buzzing in my ears.
Consciousness begins to blur.
Just when Cheng Qing thought that he was going to die, the pressure on his neck suddenly relaxed, and fresh air was injected into his lungs again through his mouth and nose, and he felt too happy to be able to breathe happily.
Life is so precious, Cheng Qing still wants to live!
Xiao Yunting half-clamped Cheng Qing in his arms, Cheng Qing was very thin, and it was a little different...... Xiao Yunting suppressed the strange feeling and looked up at the man in black who broke through the roof and entered.
"You are finally willing to show up, does Meng Huaijin ask you to protect Cheng Qing, only if Cheng Qing's life is in danger, you will save him."
There were many broken tiles in the ground.
Someone wanted to rush in, but Xiao Yunting asked everyone not to enter.
Xiao Yunting was being pointed at Uncle Xing's long sword, but he was not afraid at all, because he was now standing on the moral high ground, and he would scold if he wanted to: "If you chase and kill Agoura today, you are willing to take action, as soon as Agoura dies, the crisis in the northwest will be solved, and Meng Huai will ascend the throne one day, so you can sit back and relax, why don't you take action?" β
